Many Proteins Are Enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
Metabolism types
A
Anabolic- synthetic (building up)
Catabolic- breaking down
2
Q
Organic
A
Biological molecule contains carbon
3
Q
Catalyst
A
Alter the rate of reaction without undergoing permanent changes themselves
4
Q
E - S
A
Enzyme substrate complex
5
Q
Enzyme
A
Protein made up of polypeptide chains linked due to hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds and disulfide bonds
6
Q
Induced fit
A
- Enzyme has specific shape known as the active site
- when substrate combines with the enzyme it causes active site to change shape slightly
- puts a strain on the substrate molecule, bending or breaking bonds thus lowering activation energy
